• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    2008 Spyder manual shift, starts rough after hot 33,00 miles

    Getting back to you guys on my problem. Had nothing to do with a valve adjustment like I thought. I pulled the fuel filter off and could barely blow through it. I got one that fit from napa, wasn't the oem one but fit the fuel lines (Napa Gold 3032 fuel filter, less than $5.00), it does not fit...

    2008 Spyder manual shift, starts rough after hot 33,00 miles

    I replaced the wires and plugs at around 19,000 miles. Used the BajaRon wires which is way better than OEM (as you guys mentioned). I had my dealer in Ct looks at them before I put them on and he said "these are much better than OEM". I have to think they are still good. When they were bad at...
